Well House At Willoughbridge Wells

The well house at Willoughbridge Wells is a structure likely built in the mid-17th century, with significant later modifications. The dates 1690, 1701, and 1864 likely indicate repairs or rebuilds. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features lead flashing along the cornice. The building has a square plan with two openings on each side, all framed with moulded surrounds. It also has a moulded cornice and two male heads, which may date from the 18th century, on the east side. Currently, the well house is roofless, although it was probably originally covered. Warm springs were discovered in this area during the 1620s, and it is believed that Lord Gerard of Gerards Bromley Hall was responsible for the construction of the well house.
